Uebo S400

The Pros:Compact. Can switch RAID types and rebuild very quickly - much better than the competition. ESATA and 4 USB 2 ports for adding external drive capacity.

The Cons:Poor value - better options are available for the price. Software is compressed on the provided CD - doesn't even use a fraction of the capacity of the CD! Poorly written manual.

The Uebo S400 is a RAID-compliant, 4-bay network storage server featuring four hot-swappable drive bays for SATA I/II HDDs up to 2TB a piece. It comes with Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) level 5 technology, which critics label as the “best protection” available for digital data.

Where to Buy

In addition to the integrated drives, the S400 also offers expandability via five USB 2.0 ports and a single eSATA interface. Plus connectivity is further enhanced by dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and support for optional WI-FI (USB adapter required). Signature though is the Uebo S400’s versatility, as it can function as a NAS or as an IP-based storage area network (SAN) device with the iSCSI protocol, which is ideal for block-level access and scalability.
